...Jacques Duhamel, 44, Agriculture Minister, was an outspoken critic of the Gaullist regime. Centrist Duhamel campaigned energetically against De Gaulle in the 1968 general election, decrying the general's policies regarding NATO and the Middle East and his "ten years of personal power and arrogance." During this spring's presidential campaign, he hesitated between Pompidou and Alain Poher, picked the winning side when Pompidou promised to abolish the propaganda-prone Ministry of Information (a promise that Pompidou kept last week). Handsome and brainy, Duhamel is forthrightly Europe-minded and pro-U.S.-and almost certainly headed for frequent...

This setback seriously dented the prestige of the federation's leader, François Mitterrand as a national political figure. The centrist coalition, led by Jacques Duhamel, dropped from 13% of the vote...
Speaking to the crowd of 600 in the courtyard of a Paris boys' school, where dilapidated urinals were plainly in view, Centrist Leader Jacques Duhamel drew cheers by asking: "Wouldn't it be better to spend money on schools rather than on the illusionary force de frappe?" In an ironical turnabout, the Communists attacked the Gaullists for their no-holds-barred attempt to win an all-out majority in the National Assembly. "Unlike the Gaullist party," chided Party Chairman Waldeck Rochet, "the Communists do not want power alone, but only to have their rightful place in a government...
